Do You Get Attached To Your Stuff?

I have lost everything so many times, it is more like I wait for it to disappear and I have no problem getting rid of stuff if I need room.

I lost everything in a flood, fire, and when ill I throw everything I own away, ugh what a life

Well, my grandmother was a hoarder. She kept everything she could. It was awful. I make it a point to do monthly inventory. What I don’t need, I donate. Makes life simpler. Less is more oftentimes. But yes, I had a point where I had to sell everything, it was a dark time in my life. If I could go back, many things I would’ve kept; however, I wasn’t in a proper state of mind and my interest were not properly looked after :exploding_head::triumph:

I used to be kind of a hoarder. These days I’m not really attached to any of my stuff, other than what’s of practical use, like my phone.

I used to be a Zen Buddhist who believes in less is more. I tried to live in a very simple way such as eating simple meals and owning as less pieces of clothes as possible. However after having lived in Australia for ten years my idea of how to lead a good life changed a little. Now I cook food by adding more flavors and I wear more diverse clothes. But still I have this idea in my mind that less is more and tell myslef not to become a hoarder.

I’m the same way. I love to shop for bargains in thrift stores. When I was growing up we were comfortable, but my family looked down on materialism. For example, our neighbors bought their kid a motorcycle, and my dad would make a comment like, “What does a kid that age need a motorcycle for?” I got the message that the simplest way was the best way.

I hate clutter in my house. I used to own things that I dont need but I have got into the habit of putting things on ebay if I dont use them.

I’m not attached at all. My family and friends call me a minimalist. I throw everything away. I take pictures of important things, but I haven’t printed the pictures yet.

I am a Baby Hoarder. I have lost so much that I hang on to everything now. Yesterday I found half empty boxes of paper and junk stored. Decided to start tossing stuff. Just have to be able to toss it- trash company only takes bags if we call in and let them know extra is going out. Has to be bags.

Will be donating old clothes.

I used to be very attached to things, but after ending up homeless and losing all my truly treasured possessions, I don’t really care anymore. If I really love something, I’ll take a picture of it and store it on my cloud. Otherwise, things break, things get lost, things get stolen.

I’m not too attached to stuff. I’ve lost so much in life that loosing something special is not a big deal anymore.

I had a friend who once told me that he has nothing that he can’t part with within 5 seconds.

I’m not attached to things. But sometimes I worry how I’ll replace them when I need to because of my money situation.

I have no attachments in life.

You either own them, or they own you…

I love all my stuff. It took me a long time to get it all. Practically everything I own is cute or pink.

I have a hard time throwing away cute packaging. I know it’s garbage but I tend to hoard it anyways.

Other than my guitar and pictures of the kids I don’t care about stuff. My problem is I’m too lazy to go through all the stuff to get rid of it. I have good renters insurance so I’d get way more money than my stuff is worth.

I’m kind of a minimalist. I really don’t own a lot of stuff. It doesn’t bother me when i have to get rid of stuff. I tend to travel light.

I threw out/pawned all my stuff during my psychotic breaK. Now my stuff is clothing, a guitar, and my car.

I throw away pretty much everything these days. Sometimes I will have made a mistake and have to re-buy an item, but it is never expensive and it is worth it to live a cludder free life.

I am pretty attached to my books and movies. I occasionally go through my book collection though and try and sale off or donate what I don’t need, or plan to read.

The only thing I’m attached to is my cell phone.
I’m no longer attached to my car even.

I’m really not into material things.
